Hi, I suppose that I failed installing VP mod pack, the speed bar is still old type, and the grounds are still dark ,filled with ugly trees, not so bright or delicate as you have showed us. But I'm sure I have done as you instructed, maybe, and the size of game folder has reached nearly 50G. How can I do with it?

I've seen these loading screens.
in fact i'm not from an English-speaking country, I got the information of VP mod pack on another forum and the poster told me to install this pack onto a clean copy of 4.12.2m，but you said I need SAS mega patch, is this where the problem lies?

[vpmedia]

if you already got a 4.12.2m game why would you need the 4.12.2 megapatch?

I think I installed successfully before when I saw retextured maps a few minutes ago, but my speed bar is still old type, why?

I do not remember changing anything on the speedbar. If you saw a screen with different speedbar, it was the PAL Visual Mod v9 (not included).

Could anyone try a scenario of 4 average Spits MkI vs 4 average 109E3/4s with no side having an advantage in the Quick mission editor and report the results? I've run it at least a dozen times and the 109s are always decimating the Spitfires. In fact, I don't recall a single kill by a Spitfire.

The altitude is usually set at 3000 meters but the 109s come out on top even when set lower.

Last night I played an RAF campaign in Burma entitled "(Burma) Fighter Reconnaissance" flying the Hurricane IIb

I assume this campaign came with the VP Modpack and was built by VPMedia ?

It was really a great campaign and I wanted to say thanks !!  It's so nice to see all the "extras" in this pack that I hadn't previously noticed.

Thanks mate. I reworked a few dgen campaign including Burma, Stalingrad, Kuban, Crimea, NWEurope by increasing the number of available planes for you army and adding lots of new ground objects/targets.

You can add custom skinpacks for Burma and Stalingrad from here:

Hi Vpmedia, I appreciate very much your modpack (only 4.12 installation I use); before I used a semi-stock version because not expert in mods ... what i missed .
Well, I have a question: I installed some new static campaigns and enjoying them (by Poltava and others), but 'till now I did not try the "already installed campaigns" because I thought they were only "stock" campaigns with stock maps etc. Now I think I need to know more about the "already installed campaigns" in the vpmodpack; are them all "vpmedia made or modified/improved" or only some of them and the rest are old "stock" campaigns ? may you tell us which are vpmedia made/modified ?

Last question: not an expert in DGEN but I have seen that in patch 3 you updated the DGEN files, so does it mean the the original Dgen/EnjoyR Dgen are overwritten to work with campaigns made/tested by you ?

Thanks a lot. When started the pack, I downloaded the EnjoyR patch 5.2 and continued that. I increased the number of available planes in every single campaign by the factor of ten. I also updated a few campaigns (Stgrad, NWeurope, Burma, Kuban, Crimea, Smolensk, etc) with new object templates via mis files.

In case anyone is interested, I think this error was being caused by my virus scanner blocking the IL-2 Watchdog from running. I uninstalled everything in frustration, then noticed the alerts on the virus scanner dashboard. I might try it again at some point and whitelist the exe

That could work. Or at least worth a try imho. You should also take a look at the log.lst file.
I'd also run a chkdsk on the hd just to make sure that the file system is ok.

... These EnjoyR patch campaigns are a continous source of problems, if I could go back in time I would exclude them from the pack and maybe offer them as an optional expansion after some bugfixing. Btw back in april I uploaded a new dgen folder , due to the lack of feedback  I did not add it to the main downloads yet: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,50919.msg597549.html#msg597549

thank you for answer earlier today.
I still have a question because i am going to try the "already installed campaigns"; I re-read the thread and I see that in the newest patches 3 and 4 you made changes to dgen files ... as you see in the "quote" above one year ago I installed the "new" dgen you suggested to me ... now just want to be sure I have the right DGEN, so the new patches3+4 Dgen are to be applied to the Dgen you suggested above or to other versions of it (maybe the first "original" Dgen in the pack) ?
